'Thrilla in Manilla' Documentary - Epic

Ali is a great comedian boxer, not a floydie type one

 

Great ****n stuff. Never saw this docu

 

Without doubt this is my favourite boxing documentary. Ali didn't cover himself in glory when it came to Frazier, He deserves more. One cannot appreciate a great unless they ahve a worthy foe - Frazier IS why Ali is considered among the greatest boxers ever (Think Calzaghe and his resume as the atonym).

My heart goes out to Frazier, I understand the bitterness. But if he can't let go he's only killing himself and alienating those around him.

 

Got it on DVD and watched it a number of times.

For the record Frazier and Ali are on quite friendly terms now.

 

oh yeah? I didn't know!

 

I heard quite the opposite you see it on the Documentary, he doesnt like him. I think Joe feels a little bit sorry for him.
Joe has **** all now lives in a shabby bed sit above his gym and Ali got millions.. SUCKS...... Im sure doesnt Fraizer state, 'it hi his punishment why he got Alzheimer's.'

And Fraizer was pissed of because after the fight he never come in and said sorry for all the **** in the build up, and Fraizer held that against him...

 

great documentary probably my favourite the book is pretty revealing to about ali ,from both the documentary and the book the real winner is frazier

 

This is tame in comparison to the **** Ali said to Frazier. Ali is/was a **** of a human being.

 

Indeed, I always took Frazier's side in this. It's not simply a case of "sour grapes", I even think Joe is quite soft in his remarks after all what happened.

 

I will second this.... :deal

 

this is the aspect of boxing that i hate the most. it wastes people

 

same ali is a **** and karma show's that.

All this crap about Frazier being "skint" he still earns more than most of us and is in quite good health. He is a great man and has a clear conscience.

 

took longer than i thought

 

:yep
